Enrolment starts at Nursery for children aged 3 or older on September 1. IBSB uses an open enrolment policy and does not exclude students based on academic ability; all students are assessed before they start and a programme is in place to support progress, including Extra English Support for those needing language assistance. New enrolments are considered from March; those submitted before February are placed on the waiting list, which is processed for the new academic year on March 1. You can visit the school by appointment to meet the Head of School or Executive Director and receive an official tour, and a day at the school can be arranged for prospective pupils. Enrolment during the year is possible if a place is available. The school uses Cambridge assessments: Cambridge Pupil Progress Tests in Primary, Checkpoint in Year 9, IGCSE in Years 10–11, and A Levels in Years 12–13; reports and communications with parents are online via the Schoolbase system. An initial Registration Fee of 1,000 and a deposit of 1,500€ are payable at enrolment, with termly payments due before the start of each term.
